GHETTO

Aje pako ni wa Awa o je butter Owo co-operative La fi lo le iwe We never had a tap Ile kefa la tin pon mi But when stand and talk No one can decipher this When I stand and talk Everyone is mesmerized Although I may be a little rough on the edges But I know who I am I'm a survivor You see in the ghetto Only the strong they survive o We don't even look like what we've been through Thank God say we survive o You see in the ghetto Little children dem dey hustle Talent dey waste everyday o But we made it yes we survived You see where I come from We used to pray for everything We prayed for school bags And we prayed for school shoes We prayed that one day We'd have a coloured television That one day we'd buy our own refrigerator That one day we'd buy our own generator You may look at me and think that I'm an unbeliever But I know who I am I'm a survivor You see in the ghetto Only the strong they survive o We don't even look like what we've been through Thank God say we survive o You see in the ghetto Little children dem dey hustle Talent dey waste everyday o But we made it yes we survived So mummy don't cry Daddy don't cry Your little girl is gonna be a super star Mummy don't cry Daddy don't cry Your little boy is gonna be a super star A pe ko to jeun Ko ni je 'baje Bo pe bo ya o Akololo a pe baba So brother stay strong Sister stay stay strong Anyway anyhow One day e go better Brother stay strong Sister stay strong o Have a little faith one day e go better Have a little patience one day e go better E go better for me and you We go live the life we want One day e go better E go better for me and you All my ghetto soldiers Let's be assured that one day e go better E go better oooo E go better One day e go better
